Ruthless

"Oh my gosh!" I screamed as I look into the mirror, adding onto the massive headache that was building as the sun shone brightly into my bedroom windows.

A trail of blue black patches started at my jawl all the way to my collarbone. "He gave me hickeys!" I shouted, feeling my blood boil, not at him but myself. How could I have let my guard down like that and make myself look so vulnarable.

Taking a deep breath, I washed up and slipped on a turtle neck sweater to cover up all visible evidence with a pair of leggings.

By the time I pulled up into the school's parking lot, the first bell had rung, leaving me ten minutes left to spare. Running out of my car, I got to my locker and got out my books for the day.

"Hey, Charlotte," Declan walked up and smiled at me. His locker has right beside mine, that's how we met and became friends. I later introduced him to the agency when I noticed that he was pretty good in fighting, then he became my assassination buddy.

"Hey, Declan," I smile back and shut my locker. He took a few seconds looking at me then sniffing my scent.

"You have a foreign scent, did you meet anyone new?" He furrowed his eyebrows and c****d his head to meet mine.

"Uh, I..Uh," I spluttered. "Oh my gosh! There's hickeys on your neck! Its pecking out a little from your sweater!" Declan started to squeal like a girl.

"Quiet down! You don't have to tell the whole world, Declan!" I whisper yelled and pinched his arm, making him yelp.

"You pinch like a dude!" He whisper yelled back, making me roll my eyes.

"So..." He wiggled his eyebrows," who was it? Did you find your mate?"

The sudden word 'mate' made me cough and raised an eyebrow to him," Why would you think I found my mate?"

He smirked and shook his head at me," That's because you ignore every guy that has tried to asked you out or even talk to you, but a mate's different."

"I don't ignore every guy! I talk to you!" I defend.

He rolled his eyes at me," That's because I'm your best friend and I have already found my mate."

"Speak of the devil," I laugh when Amanda walks towards us while sipping a Starbucks drink.

Declan immediately smiles and pulls her in to kiss her forehead. I smile at their cuteness before waving them goodbye to go to my class that I was already late for.

During lunch, I walked over to where Declan and Amanda was sitting and dropped my bag onto one of the empty seats.

"So," Amanda began,"I heard that you found your mate?" She smiled mischievously.

I turn and glared at Declan who smiled back sheepishly and shrugged.

"Fine, I did." I rolled my eyes and pulled out my sandwich from my backpack.

"So, is he hot?" Amanda wiggled her eyebrows at me which resulted in a playful glare from Declan who got possessive easily over her.

"He's Alpha Salvatore," I sighed out.

"Oh my gosh, Charlotte!" Amanda yelled out. "He is so hot!"

I giggled when Declan grunted and folded his arms childishly . "But I don't need a mate, Amanda."

"Everyone needs one, you'll understand when Salvatore comes to love you," she raised an eyebrow.

"I'm pretty sure that dude doesn't even have feelings," I commented. "Plus he wouldn't love someone like me."

Sighing, Amanda cups my hand in hers and rubs small circles into my palms," Don't say things like that. I'm sure he would eventually love you."

"Key word eventually," I laugh.

"Look on the bright side, then you wouldn't have to suffer from being a third wheel any more." Declan laughs, trying to lighten the mood.

All classes went by pretty fast, because I couldn't keep my mind off Salvatore. That way he made me feel, I felt so precious and fragile in his arms that I missed his warmth and cockiness. I loved how his arms traced my body as if it was made just for him and how good he made me feel.

After school, I received a call from headquarters while driving home .

"Agent Charlotte, its headquarters. We need you to eliminate a threat to our agency that has been detected." My boss orders over the phone, "Details are being sent to you now, good luck." With those few words, he hung up.

I carefully listened to my boss and obeyed him. I would never question him and his dicisions because they were all for the better.

After a few minutes, my phone binged from the notifications. I pulled up to the side of the road to check it.

All blood drained from my face when I saw that she was related to my mate. What will happen between us after I assassinated his sister ? I didn't want a mate now but I know I'll settle down with my mate one day.

Sighing, I drove towards the opposite direction of where I was supposedly headed and drove towards the Blood Crescent Pack.

I can assassinate her without anyone knowing it was me. Right?
